Baby Blankets for Twin Girls

It has been a while since I updated my blog. So much has been happening in my life, including retirement and monster snowstorms! However, I was able to finally finish a pair of baby blankets for a set of twin girls who were born last summer. I can't believe it took me that long to get the blankets completed and mailed out. Where on earth did the time go to? I did have several challeges with the blankets though. For some reason, I had an awful time with the binding because I wanted to use satin fabric and no matter what I tried, I couldn't get it to look just right. I finally settled on purchasing the packaged satin blanket binding and stitching it on them. Turned out okay, but I would have preferred to have my own binding as I had originally planned. Guess I need more practice with slippery fabrics!

About Me

At long last, I have finally retired from the 9-5 working world. For many years, I worked as a legal assistant in downtown Washington, DC. For the first time in my life, I will have an opportunity to embrace all the fun and exciting interests I have on a full-time basis...sewing, jewelry, crafting, photography, stained glass...in fact, all things creative. I have so many plans and ideas rolling around in my thoughts and hope to get started soon on translating them into fiber art. I will keep you posted on my progress as I go along and hope you join me in my journey.
